Houston Rockets #2 seed in the western conference, only 0.5 games behind OKC!

All while rooting against the Suns. To think where we are now, after the horrible CP3/WESTBROOK trade. We don't seem to be in danger of closing a valuable pick this year, and we dodged massive bullets with Jalen and Amen. We got very lucky to Reed as well. Ime and Stone don't deserve all the credit, old fashioned good luck has been our biggest asset. All we have lost is Topic I believe.

 

Chet is gonna be OKC's achilles heel he is so good OKC will have to pay him the max and then he'll get injured every other year.

 

Yes it's funny topic and the upcoming pick is all the Rox lost due to that Cp3/WB trade.

 

More importantly, the Rockets are 3rd in SRS a quarter of the way into the season. If they stay healthy, they may actually be a contender.

Ime is CoTY right now.

 

Are the Celtics still coasting on his teachings?
Serious question.
He is doing a heck of a job

Don't we keep it if we are better than the Clips?

 

enjoy it because this is the highest rockets get this season. in the first quarter of the season. we'll come back down to earth and settle for a 6-8 seed when all said and done.

shut up. this is my coping mechanism

 

Yes, except the Rockets will end up swapping it for Phoenix's pick. I think Durant is going to need enough days off to keep the Suns back.

 

Could easily have been 18-3 if not for some games we should have won… hornets opening night, bucks… that dumb portland loss. Oh wel

 

But if we don't finish the season ahead of Clips, then we won't have to pick to swap with Phoenix, right?

 

We would then just swap OKC's pick with Phoenix.

 

I hope we make a trade(s) for a shooter but nothing that disrupts this team’s chemistry

they are legitness

 

we give them a pick regardless of the worst of what we have so I don't really care whose pick it is.

 

For 2025, we don"t give OKC a pick at all if LAC finishes worse than the Rockets. OKC can switch with either LAC or Hou..not both.

Nobody is giving picks these are all swaps. OKC gets to swap and Rox get to swap. Maybe thats where you are getting confused.
